From Paradise to Hell: Trapped at a Music Festival Because of COVID-19

The Tribal Gathering Festival in Panama was placed under quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic on March 15th. There are still 40 people trapped on site, in a jungle by a beach that’s no longer paradise.
On April 21st the flight ban in the country was extended to May 22nd, meaning the festival-goers will be stranded for at least another month. This is now the last festival on earth.
Will it be Lord of the Flies, Fyre Festival, or The Beach? Here’s what happens when a tropical music festival goes on lockdown.

Panama has to get things done progressively, timely and aware of people's needs. You have to warn people.

It's absurd to force a lockdown on a festival while making the people pay for it (everyone know festivals are not cheap). In my country all coronavirus measures were carefully thought, something like this would be unthinkable! Now imagine that you go to some place where you have a specific amount of money and a plane to catch in the end and not only you are forced to stay as you are also forced to pay from your own pocket without being able to make a choice. Coeonavirus is a global threat but the country should be This is ridiculous. When you are submitted to any lockdown measures you are comfortably at your home. And yes of course the embassies should do something for the people. Not to mention that the people themselves shouldn't have gone to a festival on the other side of the world when the virus was spreading but that is another discussion.

If you want a connection with nature just go to the woods, not some stupid festival. Plant a garden, go fishing and hunting, build something with gathered materials, learn some woods/tradecrafts...Its not getting high and waiting for the hotdog stand to open.

[@bobhoskins124]

Jim Kerr no i cant afford it or any festival i have a child and work. I live in a wooded area i teach my kids to fish, hunt, and garden to be self sufficient traveling hundreds of miles doesnt make u more indigenous just makes u a hipster making a false drugged out experience.

Tribal societies were not simply big huge parties. Tribal society is severe, serious, brutal, and yes unforgiving. Many people think they understand tribal societies because they have taken a plethora of chemicals both natural and synthetic. Getting high has very little to do with real true tribal society. When you live off the land you cannot afford to get high all the time because you are too busy trying to survive. Collecting water. Growing, hunting, finding, and preparing food. Reparing shelters. Stocking for next month, next season, next year. Its extremely hard work. These people remind me of the movie "the beach". Also you people chose to go during a global pandemic what did you expect?

Do you actually think these people want to live like indigenous communities. Non western folks and cultures, and these festivals, are just exotic backdrops, fetishes to them. They think that because they wear dreads, get high, dance with elders (who by the way are doing this for the money and completely water down what they teach to make it palatable.) and read blogs on holistic medicine that it magically absolves or escapes them from the violent postcolonial legacies which which they have inherited. These are the same people who walk around in black and brown neighborhoods that they gentrify with their wholefoods bag never even smiling at their neighbors but instead constantly complaining and calling the police on them for things like playing in the street.
